Title: Pucks not advancing all the way
Post by: seagravedriver on June 14, 2009, 04:57:02 PM
I have a used OBS that I got for free.  I had to put a new motor in it, (fast service, priced more than fair), and it installed easy but.......The pucks are not getting pushed all the way clear so another can drop into place.  The device pushes the pucks only halfway.  It seems as if I have put the motor on and the "timing is off".  The motor turns all the way, it just does not push the advance mechanism far enough.  Dang, that was hard to explain.  No funny noises coming out of it, which is a relief.

OK, hate to admit it being a guy and all ;).  I think I put the motor in turned opposite of the way it should have gone in.  So I was backward.   This not a good start for me :P

A free OBS is a good thing!  When you get this straightened out - I hope to see pics of some great smokes!  BTW - welcome to the forum!  No questions = longer learning curve and who wants that?

Free.  Well I kinda feel like that dude in "Taladaga Nights".  A friend is separated from his wife, and there was no where for this item to go except the Goodwill store.  I am just doing my part to help a buddy.  In all honesty, we are hoping for reconciliation, and he will get this item back.  BUT, by then, family will be hooked on it, and I will have to buy another.  I think I am going to love this thing.

Hope everything works out for your friend, ben there done that. Not fun.

The family will love what you make in the Bradley, may take a couple times to get it the way you like it. Just stick with it and take notes, helps for the next time on what to change if needed.
